Inventor: THIEL HEINRICH
IPC: H01H13/58
Filed: 1911-07-11
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 16,078. Thiel, H. July 11. Switches, quick-action. -Relates to switches of the kind in which the longitudinal movement of a pressure button rotates a contact member about an axis in line with the axis of the button, and comprises a longitudinally-moving pin 6, Fig. 1, operated by the button so as to slide through the eye of and rotate a driver disk 8 having a lug adapted to engage the toothed periphery of a contact-member 4. The member 4 is of the usual ratchet form, giving a snap action with the fixed contact springs 17. In one construction, Figs. 1 and 2, the lower part of the pin 6 is screw-threaded and engages with a correspondingly-threaded portion of the bush 2. When the pin is pressed downwards it is caused to rotate, and carries with it the driver disk 8 provided with a lug 9 engaging with the ratcheted upper surface of the toothed contact-maker 4, which is thereby rotated to make and break contact with the contact-springs 17, Fig. 2. When the pressure is removed the spring 10 returns the button, and the driver disk slips over the ratchet portion of the contact-member to its former position. In another construction, Fig. 5, the upper portion 27 of the pin is of screw form, and it is prevented from rotating by suitably shaping its lower end 26, which engages with the base. The driver disk 33 is screw-threaded, and consequently rotates when the button is depressed. The cover 16 serves to maintain the whole of the moving parts in place.

Title: Improvements in Filling Thread Cutting Mechanism for Weft Replenishing Looms.
Inventor: HOLLINGWORTH EDWARD
IPC: D03D49/70
Filed: 1912-03-02
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 5264. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. March 2. Weft, cutting; weft-replenishing mechanism. -In looms provided with automatic weftreplenishing mechanism, the weft-end from the spent bobbin is cut between a movable blade 15, Fig. 3, and a blade 14 fixed on a member 9<a>, 9 provided with means for also clamping the weft-end extending from the cutter to the selvedge, so that this weft-end tilts the side weft fork and thus prevents stoppage of the loom during weft-replenishment. The blade 15 is fixed to a lever 16, 16<a>, Figs. 2 and 3, pivoted on a stud 17 on the head 9<a> of a spring-controlled bar 9 mounted on a bracket 8 on the breast beam and provided with a slot 9<2> engaged by a key 11, whereby the bar is prevented from turning. A spring 20 acting on the arm 16 opens the jaws 14, 15, which, however, are normally kept closed by the engagement of the notched part 21 of a lever 21 with the notched end 16<a1> of the arm 16<a> of the lever 16, 16<a>. When substantial weft-exhaustion occurs, by means of a wire or rod 27 connected to the transfer mechanism, the lever 21 is rocked against spring action, thereby releasing the lever 16, 16<a> and allowing the blade 15 to rise and the spring 10 to move forwards the opened cutter. When the lay advances, the cam-shaped end 21<a> of the lever 21 engages a wire 28 secured to a lug 29<2> on a collar 29 engaging a collar 31<3> carrying a wire 31 having a rearwardly-projecting part provided with a hook 31". The arm 28 is thereby rocked together with the collars 29, 31<3>, whereby the arm 31 is rocked, so that the hook 31<a> carries the weft-end positively between the opened cutter jaws. As the lay . continues to advance, a projection 34 thereon engages the arm 16<a> and thereby closes the cutter blades which sever the weft-end, the weftend extending to the selvedge being, however, clamped between a projection 16<a> on the arm 16 and the part 19<1> of a blade spring 19, 19<1>. The lay, as it completes its advance, moves rearwards the bar 9, and the lever 21 is rocked by spring action to cause the notched part 21<1> to engage the arm 16<1>. The collars 29, 31<3> have cam parts normally kept in engagement with one another by a spring 32, so that, if a shuttle should be present over the arm or wire 31 and prevent the upward movement thereof. the collar 31<3> can move out of engagement with the collar 29, when the latter is rocked, thus allowing the arm 31 to remain stationary without any breakage of parts occurring.
